NSW up 212. That's a large spike in numbers. And we are yet to change the testing criteria.

I want to know whats thepersonal impact this has had on everyone here?

Personally a small amount of anxiety due to fools panic buying everything. Even baby nurofen/panadol & ventolin.

Fortunatley i still have a job (for now) on temporarily reduced hours. We have a small amount saving in the bank should the worst happen. Would have had much more of a buffer had my ford XR6 transmission not give out for the 3rd time a 2 months ago so upgrading that to a new kluger for the family.

Hey, my thread has been hijacked and had the title changed and your name put on it with no notice to myself? Not cool!

Really?

That is your number one concern right now?

What are you chasing, recognition?

EDIT: you were after notice. Fair enough. Was a quick change after I saw the thread losing control and way over its limit. Have linked your original thread now. Apologies Astro7

Total new cases yesterday was 370. We’ve surpassed that already without any numbers from WA or SA

Yep..it’s not great. But I think we all knew that was coming

If your hours are reduced more than 20% you'll have the option of accessing $10K from your Super before 1 July and another $10K after 30 June. I don't know all the finer details yet, but maybe worth looking at for some.

Anxiety through the roof (never had an issue before).
Mrs has been stood down which basically amounts to losing her job but not being paid out her leave and long service because there's very little chance they'll reopen after all this is done.
I've still got a job for now but like most two income families will struggle to pay the bills off one income.
I imagine most would be in a similar boat or in an even worse position.

Not a huge impact on me. My business activities will slow as we move through the lockdown, but it is likely to open up new opportunities once we get through to the back end. Fortunately, cashflow in my industry is infrequent (but revenue is large when they do occur), so I need to keep 12-18 months of living and operating expenses in cash in usual circumstances. This will allow me to get through all of this without too much drama.

Fortunately, my friends and family are in industries that aren't too badly affected yet. Some of them may need to have a bit of a pay cut or use leave, but their employers will still be around at the end of it.

No I'm not after recognition at all, who gives a toss about that.... I was over the Trump thing and also thought someone should bang up a global politics/world leaders thread just to divert traffic from the virus thread.
I just think a civil heads-up of an impending change to someone's thread is quite reasonable?
Otherwise it's a bit authoritarian, bit of a dictatorship?
But let's not get into politics!
(Politics however is closely linked to this crises)

Link change appreciated, no probs, thanks Biggie! (and wasn't after an apology)
Now back to the virus....

Not suprised with the spike. In a couple of weeks we should see if the rules have made a way to get it to slow down.

Have never looked at /seen that thread so I followed the link. Just knew Georgie would be there somewhere. First post . Couldn't be bothered reading. Maybe if I get desperate.

Now that states are isolated from each I wonder what the chances are of SA,WA,TAS and NT keeping it to manageable levels, I think the eastern seaboard is past the point of avoiding a major clusterf*#k.

Yeah NSW, VIC & QLD have really stuffed up. The rest of the country has managed this really well as of today. Especially WA, TAS & the NT.

I think we have a way easier chance of social distancing. I work in the outskirts of the CBD but drive through it and it’s been crazy dead over the last couple of weeks. Also we don’t like public transport as most drive in but from what I’ve noticed it’s been a ghost town on the platforms for a week or so. We also dont have a lot of high density areas compared to GC, Melbourne and Sydney.

Update

 

[Chris_6678]

BUT I have noticed a lot the older people give O f””ks in regards to social distancing compared to people my age ( 30’s) who have embraced it somewhat.

I guess doing all my partying in my 20 ( and boy did I get munted on a regular basis) I like chilling at home so it hasn’t been an issue for me. Last night my wife and so had fun doing an online quiz night over some wines. Tonight catching up with mates in video chat with a beer or 10.

We should all embrace it and accept this will be a long road but not forever.
